Katie Couric will appear on “Salon Talks” this week to discuss her new six-part documentary series on the National Geographic channel, “America Inside Out with Katie Couric.” In the series, Couric travels the country to talk honestly and openly about pressing issues affecting today’s culture, including gender inequality, white working-class anxiety, the battle over Confederate statues, the day-to-day experiences for American Muslims and the lasting effects of technology.

Mayim Bialik, “The Big Bang Theory” actor and #1 New York Times best-selling author, will stop by with her latest book “Boying Up: How to Be Brave, Bold and Brilliant,” which is a guide for the physical and emotional changes boys go through during adolescence. Bialik channels her background in neuroscience and her own experience as the mother of two boys in this new book for parents and kids.

Mark Duplass, one half of the movie-making Duplass brothers, brings the memoir he wrote with his brother Jay, “Like Brothers,” to “Salon Talks.” Whether the two are directing, producing, writing or acting, Duplass will discuss how the lifelong creative partnership evolved from making movies on the tiniest budgets to creating huge projects like Netflix’s “Wild Wild Country” and “Evil Genius: The True Story of America’s Most Diabolical Bank Heist.”

And we’re talking politics and reflecting on history with a true Washington insider, President Jimmy Carter’s former chief domestic policy adviser, Stuart Eizenstat, whose new book, “President Carter: The White House Years,” examines Carter’s biggest accomplishments, his missteps, and how set up successes for the presidents who followed.
